Thanks for the update that this is working for ...

Sorry for the mis-understanding I wasn't fully understanding just what you were needing this to do then I recalled the setting to for USPS to always use USPS Retail GroundTM that I had built in and that you could customize that further than just on/off but could actually set a condition on it ...

I'm sorry I never came back to this (until now). Anyway, after lots of transactions that were off about $0.75 I decided to look at it again today. Yes, flipping that switch did fix the problem. I'm still not sure what the difference is in that mode, but I see in the log that it was choosing "<CommercialPostage>" instead of "<Postage>". That was the difference.

How can Product Weight be globally set to 0.1 LBS by default? Thx

**Ajeh** · 16 Mar 2016, 10:56 PM

You want ALL products changed to 0.1 LBS or just for when adding new products?

Good question.

Reset All Products to 0.1 LBS and then by default All New Products auto set to 0.1 LBS.

Thus, by entering any other value would override the default weight.

To change ALL products to 0.1 in Install SQL Patches:

Code:

UPDATE products SET products_weight = 0.1;

Change the collect_info.php line for weight to:

Code:

                       'products_weight' => '0.1',

USPS module does not recognize 16oz can be shipped 1st Class Domestic.

I have set 1oz product weight as 0.06 lbs. USPS module 1st Class max weight as 0.99 or even 1 lbs.

Up to 12 oz, it shows 1st Class.

14oz still triggers no 1st class, only Priority on up.

Can we tweak this or is USPS controlling this?
